The minority SNP government was able to pass its budget last week with Green Party support, the price of which was some additional funding for some GP pet projects. Interestingly, the government did not have to make any concessions regarding its road building plans.Mikehannah wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 20:05 At the risk of angering the moderators.
I think the result of the May elections might surprise some.
I am in no doubt the SNP will still be the largest party but I think they will be well short of a majority.
It is up to the other parties to step up and not allow the greens to hijack much needed infrastructure development

Re: A9 dualling
What I mean is rather than remodel the Bankfoot area in the way they did, and had they not done suicide lanes where they did, there might have been less of the A9 needing dualled now. Then scale that sort of decision making across the country.Mikehannah wrote:Consider Labour have been out of power for 13 plus years. How do they have any say in infrastructure spending?

Re: A9 dualling
has anybody noticed that the end of the dual carriageway near Pitlochry seems to narrow to a single carriageway to the left side and not the middle like most other dual carriageway endings?
maybe they constructed it that way so that in the future they could widen the road easily to a dual carriageway and incorporate the Pitlochry North Junction (which will be moved further north in current plans) as the north junction was originally D2 but one later on one lane on each side was hatched to make it D1.

Re: A9 dualling
Traffic is flowing through the whole scheme on the new S/B carriageway which is complete. N/B is black from Luncarty to where that mini-roundabout was, then black again from Bankfoot North to Pass of Birnam. The 4 major structures are all complete aside from slip/link roads.
I'd guess around 3 months to completion.
Re: A9 dualling
Aah the good old days when you had 8 seconds to bomb past a lorry or 2 at the shortest D2 in the country probably.

Re: A9 dualling
They're far too busy now patrolling all those ridiculous new 20mph limits through the deserted villages of Perthshire, looking for someone doing 25 or even a maniac doing 30.
Re: A9 dualling
Is this the section in question?
How would you like your grade separations, Sir?

Yes and no, of course. I wasn't sure of your original intention.

As a matter of interest, what is the next scheme scheduled to start construction after Luncarty to Pass of Birnam?

I believe the next to section to begin construction is Tomatin to Moy, but not for another year or so.

Dual the A9, dual and bypass the A77, and bypass Crocketford and Springholm on the A75.
Re: A9 dualling
